"Hehe, Yuanjia's words have really changed a little, and it seems that he has been practicing a lot recently."

After reading the letter from King Yu, Li Shimin first smiled, and then shook his head and said: "However, although this character is written in a unique style, the strokes have become more and more straight, and the changes have been lost...... It's full of ingenuity! ”

In the eyes of the emperor, who is proficient in flying white, his younger brother's words look fresh, but they don't have the aura as before.

If Li Yuanjia heard these words, he would probably have no other opinions other than giving the emperor a thumbs up. After all, the birth of Song Ti characters was originally for printing, so the horizontal and vertical are very straight, and a small hook is added at the end, so that the result is easy to engrave, but when it looks like the font lacks change, it looks a little old-fashioned and lacks artistic atmosphere.

So this is also the reason why many literati disdained the Song style during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

However, how well the words are written is only a trivial matter after all, and after a little silence, Li Shimin continued: "Regarding the matter of King Yu's request to return to Chang'an...... Forbid! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not surprised by the emperor's words, Li Jian immediately bowed down.

The prince is not allowed to return to Beijing easily after leaving the cabinet, this is the iron law of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the emperor does not mean to make an exception for Li Yuanjia, and even if it is a piece of filial piety that pities him, it is definitely not this time.

Casually put the letter on the table, Li Shimin leaned back comfortably, and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Li Huan, what is new in Luzhou recently?" ”

“…… What's new? ”

Looking at Li Shimin's face, the corners of Li Huan's mouth couldn't help twitching.

As soon as he rejected the king's request, he immediately asked this?

Every time he came over to report something about the king, it seemed that the emperor always liked to ask such a question. Li Jian didn't have to think about it to know that this so-called new thing refers to the Taishi chair where the emperor is sitting now, or the coal stove and iron pot or something. And without exception, these things can make the emperor quite happy every time, and find some relief from the usual heavy state affairs.

When the emperor spoke, Li Jian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied respectfully after a little thought: "Back to Your Majesty, there is really nothing new to say, but the king has been digging up those in the past six months...... Those sewers are finally finished! ”

Saying the three words of the awkward sewer, a strange touch flashed in Li Huan's eyes.

The expression was a little weird, and His Majesty the Emperor, his eyelids jumped twice and then asked, "The sewer of the Luzhou Government Office has been completed?" Have they tried? The result? ”

"Uh......"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jian said helplessly: "Back to Your Majesty, they don't know how to describe it...... Although the flow of water is very smooth during heavy rain in Luzhou, it seems that it has never been blocked when the open ditch was used before. So if there is a difference, it seems that it has changed from above ground to underground, which makes it look much more comfortable. ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Much more comfortable?" It took more than 300 yuan to renovate the ditch in the government office, and that's it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's what they think."

Seeing the emperor's expression seemed quite surprised, Li Jian hurriedly explained: "It's just that the king of Yu is well-read, since he has seen this kind of sewer in the book of the Far West, and insists on trying it in the Luzhou government office, maybe there are other wonders, but they can't see it for the time being." ”

"Hmm......"

brushed the beard under his chin, but Li Shimin had some doubts in his heart.

What Li Yuanjia did this time seemed to be a little out of tune, at least he really couldn't think of spending so much money to change those ditches from the ground to the ground, in addition to making people more comfortable, what else would it do, but think about the things that kid did before, such as iron pots, tables and chairs, especially Quyuan plows, who can say that he is just messing around?

"Perhaps...... Is there really anything else wonderful? ”

After pondering for a while, he couldn't figure out why, and the emperor, who had only taken the time to ask a few words, didn't think about it anymore, shook his head and said, "Forget it, since you can't think of it, just wait for the opportunity to ask him in person in the future......

For his own eleventh lang, Li Shimin's current attitude is also quite subtle.

Li Yuanjia is the eldest son of Yuwen Zhaoyi, how the Emperor Taishang doted on their mother and son back then, Li Shimin was deeply impressed, and some scenes are still vivid. Coupled with Yu Wenshi and this important minister in the court, it would be nonsense to say that he was not afraid.

But on the other hand, Yuwen Zhaoyi knew how to advance and retreat back then, and resolutely rejected the temptation of the queen's throne; The scholars and the faithful have never had any other thoughts; At present, this eleven lang has been very low-key since he was a child, focusing on reading and calligraphy and painting, and now after arriving in Luzhou, he has begun to study the affairs of craftsmen, and he is not interested in governing and befriending the official gentry at all.

The performance of this family, Li Shimin can't find a reason to doubt it.

In addition, Li Yuanjia's Quyuan plough has a great contribution, and the coal stove, tables and chairs and other things also make Li Shimin quite fond of it, and the iron pot and stir-fried vegetables have changed the emperor's diet, which adds up to make him more and more interested in his own eleven lang.

Otherwise, as the emperor, why would Li Shimin care about a prince who was thousands of miles away?

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but be happy.

He didn't know how many thoughts he had turned in an instant, but Li Jian next to him had been waiting honestly, not daring to make a sound. It wasn't until a moment later that I heard the emperor ask leisurely: "By the way, the kind sent from Luzhou last month is called ...... It's the kind of seasoning that cooks, what is it called? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, King Yu calls it Thirteen Incense!"

"Oh, yes, Thirteen Incense."

After being reminded by Li Huan, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the name of the thing, and then said with a smile: "Just one or two will cost five yuan, and one pound is eighty yuan!" In just one day's effort, Yuan Jiake earned more than 1,000 yuan...... I've heard that there are still a lot of people who haven't bought them, what happened next? ”

When he said this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of envy.

It's so easy to get this money.

To be honest, after hearing that Li Yuanjia earned more than 2,000 yuan in one day, the emperor was almost moved. After all, this is only sold for thirty catties, according to the virtues of those princes and nobles in the Tang Dynasty, let alone thirty catties, it is three hundred catties or three thousand catties, and they can definitely eat it!

What's more, the world is so big, and there are many wealthy families, rich businessmen and gentry?

Later, I thought that it was not easy to build an iron pot, and it consumed a lot of iron, and the average Yin cannibal family might not be able to use it so quickly, so Li Shimin reluctantly suppressed this thought.

Besides, what is the emperor's business about?

Even when those people from Luzhou sold those thirteen incense, they also knew that many elders and relatives liked to eat stir-fried vegetables, so King Yu ordered someone to send some thirteen incense from Luzhou, and then collected the banner of capital with everyone. Anyway, Li Shimin definitely doesn't believe this kind of thing.

The emperor asked about the follow-up of the matter, Li Huan's eyes became strange again, and he lowered his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty, I later sent more than 100 catties of thirteen incense, which was also divided up on the same day." And the news from Luzhou said that the whole of King Xu's mansion is making every effort to make thirteen incense, and more ...... will be sent in the future."
